    Not necessarily. Religions special privileges are there to separate them from the government, it is to limit interaction between the two bodies. This is ultimately a good thing as it prevents the country/s from becoming a church state and maintain religious freedom. The issue is when a cult or other body strong arms its way to these privileges and then uses its lack of restrictions to exert their will on the country who can’t really do much back.
